The doll in my head has given me fits from what her dress should look like to her hair style not to mention the size of her eyes.Well needless to say off went her head (3 time) but finally got what we both were happy with.Then it was with her hair. After it was all needle felted on she did'nt like the gray that was in it.It was mostly black and some brown with just a little gray here and there.Well that would'nt do so off it came.Now I had tried dyeing wool before but did'nt turn out like I hoped.After much thought I figured I'd try it again and this time I loved it.Some I did blonde and some black and it came out so pretty.

My first batch of blonde came out to dark so I used less dye and it was great.

The one on the left is after and the one on the right is before.....

I still have boxes I am unpacking 1 year after we moved.I came across a doll I had started long ago.I did'nt like how I had done it before so took all the stitches out and redid her face just to see if I could do it better.She turned out kinda cute.If you look close you can see where I moved her nose and mouth stitches,but thats ok shes my practice doll... I don't know if it's the heat or what but I just can't seem to settle down and just finish some of the things I have to finish up.I keep jumping from one thing to another which makes me feel like I am not getting anywhere.I don't know if anyone else gets like this or not but I don't like it.Hopefully next time I post things will be calmer here and I will find myself lol....
